2. It may be better to remain silent.
Is it wrong to say bad things about a bad man at his funeral? There, I think the answer would be yes.

3. Depends on if they're true. You can ALWAYS say something nice and true if you try.
Like with Bush:

"He helped many people realize important changes that needed to be made."

5. Well, if that man was a "murderous tyrant on par with Pol Pot and Genghis Khan"
then perhaps it would be better to remain silent at his funeral. :shrug:
